COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Margot Hetzke is
just so happy to be here.
The Siena freshman, who has
had an almost indescribale impact on the womens basketball
team over the past month and a
half, could talk for literal hours,
on how much she loves competing, her hopes, dreams and aspirations for the future and, perhaps most importantly, how generally fond she is of the entire
human race.

move in stride.
Youve got to do what
the team needs you to
do, Marvin said. Coach
didnt need me up top but
he needed someone to
play defensive (midfield)
so I figured Id step up
and do it. It worked.
Work is a good description for the third year varsity players approach to
each game. Many teams
play with dual defensive
midfielders to cover more
ground. Marvin patrolled
that distance by himself,
winning so many challenges in the process that
50-50 balls were not as
even as their name would
suggest when he was involved.
I think he was one of
the biggest pieces to our
sectional and state run,
Bain said of Marvin. His
ability to be a shutdown
defender and distr ib ute the ball out of midfield was key to our success. As soon as he went
back there, the effect on
team wa s immediate.
It allowed to Miles Burbank to push forward and
I knew Tucker would hold
down the fort.
Despite playing further
from goal for the majority of the season, Marvin
still managed to score
seven times and provide
five assists. He was second on the team in scoring behind Burbanks six
goals and eight assists.
Being as versatile as
Marvin is on the field
championships.
In the state seminal,
Mar v in sacrificed his
body over and over again
to keep Commacks top
player from creating any
scoring chances.
Despite creating a half
dozen qualit y scoring
chances, the Plainsmen
failed to score. Shenendehowas season ended
with a 1-0 overtime loss
and Commack went on to
win the Class AA state title.
Mar v in wa s named
a first team Suburban
C ou nc i l a l l- s t a r a nd
a first team A ll-State
player as a senior but his
favorite varsity goal occurred his sophomore
year.
It was against Shaker
in double over time at
Shaker, Marvin said. I
scored a left footed shot
that curled into the bottom corner of the net
from the top of the 18.
Ill always remember that
moment.
Mar vin has verbally
committed to continue
his soccer career at Division I UMass next season,
where he was recruited to
play as a forward or attacking midfielder. Until
then, the two sport athlete will shoot for another
sectional title of the year
with the Plainsmen ice
hockey team.
No matter what happens, however, it will be
tough for anything to top
his senior year of soccer.
Im going to miss it a
lot, Marvin said. This is
probably the best group
of guys Ive ever played
with.
